I inquired about these slip-ons today for my 2008 Sport1000 Bip for the following reasons: Overall looks, sound, removeable baffles, and no fueling adjustments (according to Keihan). Price is ok, relative to other options, but I have 2 concerns.
First, they just look too long (I know this has come up before). I requested pictures and received them from Keihan, and they stick out what looks like beyond the end of the rear tire. I would paint them black, but still, they look too long. Keihan says the pictures I received were the shorter production models. I wonder how long the prototypes were!! I don't understand why they made them so long.
Second, I worry that the statement that stock fueling is fine is based on Europe's setup, and that a bike with a US ECU would be different. I want to avoid getting involved with fuel issues.
My goal is to find reasonably priced slip ons with "better" sound and decent looks. Not looking for more power or super loud.
Anyone with Keihan experience that can comment? Thanks!
